There’s more to fall than football and even if you’re a fan of the game, the schedule of activities at Clinton County Arts Council offers an exciting change. Especially for youngsters and those into creating their own jewelry.
Leading the agenda is a schedule of two jewelry classes – Oct. 21 and 28 – under the guidance of Debra Laverty along with a two-hour children’s art class Saturday Oct. 23 conducted by Barb Darling.

The two beading class sessions offered by Ms Laverty will be held at the Council’s Gallery, 215 N. Clinton Ave. in St. Johns. Students will create a personalized bracelet and another individual charm. Registration for either class date is $30.00.
Meanwhile, the children’s art class will be held at the Depot location and registration for that session is $10.00 per student. Students participating in the class will complete two projects, a seasonal themed painting involving trees in autumn and a wax resist with leaves.
In the midst of this active schedule, local artist Tom Tomasek will be conducting a special 1½-2 hour pastel painting demonstration at the Gallery, Thursday Oct. 14 at 6:30p. The demonstration is designed to assist students in better understanding of the process of pastel painting in preparation for his pastel painting class.
Persons interested in any of the scheduled events may seek details by visiting or calling the Arts Council Gallery, 989 224-2429.
